A TRIO of “feral thugs” – who acted like a “pack of vicious dogs” as they brutally attacked a man dressed as Dracula after a Halloween party – have been jailed for a total of almost ten years.

Rossco Stern, Charlie Hill and Gary Thoms were locked up today after leaving Michael Craib permanently scarred with a huge gash on his neck after hijacking a fancy dress party armed with knives and baseball bats.

Horrifying footage was shown repeatedly to a jury at Dundee Sheriff Court during a four-day trial.

In it various partygoers are seen wandering about the street as an argument ensues in a close off camera.

Then the costumed men and women flee as Stern, Hill and Thoms sprint down a path with weapons drawn.

Over the course of a sustained, minute-long attack Mr Holt is seen being thrown to the ground before one of the gang repeatedly strikes him on the head with a baseball bat while another, identified as Thoms, takes wild kicks at his head.

Knives are seen being brandished and repeatedly used on the victims who eventually break free and flee the scene.

Pictures of Mr Craib’s injuries show a massive, deep gash on his neck.

He told the court: “It was only just above my jugular.

“I had been wearing a boiler suit as part of my costume. I went back to the flat and took it off.

“When I went back outside Liam was on the ground – I thought he was dead.”

Jodie Feeney, who had been hosting the party, said: “Rossco Stern was shouting and screaming. He was saying ‘I’m from Glasgow – I’ll show you how it’s done’.”
